Chapter 47: Death report.
The next area of hotland was basically boring, once again. Mom and sans exchanged phone numbers and have been texting each other puns between each of the puzzles. There were these two royal guards that mom had to try and convince that I was't human ("erm… no they are a flower monster, see?" as she points to Asriel. Somehow it worked.) but the whole thing has again been uneventful. Eventually though, we reached a dark room.
*Ring!
"Okay, I'm back! A-another dark room, huh? Don't worry! M-my hacking skills have got things covered!" as the lights turn on, the room is revealed around me. I can't actually see Mettaton, but i can hear him from behind a large cardboard canvas and a camera. "Are you serious?"
"Ohhhhhh yes! Good evening beauties and gentle beauties! This is Mettaton reporting live from MTT news! An interesting situation has arisen in hotland! Fortunately, or correspondents are out there reporting live! Brave correspondents! Please find something newsworthy to report! Our ten wonderful viewers are waiting for you!" mom and I look around the room. I hand Asriel to mom before I walk up to a small fluffy dog. "What a sensational opportunity for a story! I can see the headline now: "a dog exists somewhere." frankly, i'm blown away. Is this what you would like to report?"
"Uhh… sure? Why not."
"Attention, viewers! Our correspondents have found… a dog! (cue audience awws) that's right, folks! It's the feel-good story of the year! look at is little ears, tiny paws, fluffy tail… ... wait a second. That's not a tail!" the dog's tail suddenly ignites itself as i drop it onto the ground.. "That's… a fuse! That's right... that dog... is a bomb! But don't panic! You haven't seen the rest of the room yet!" the large canvas falls and the rest of the objects suddenly become bombs. "Oh my! It seems that everything in the area is actually a bomb! That present is a bomb! That basketball's a bomb! Even my words are-" whatever Mettaton was going to say next is interrupted by several explosions occurring in the background "Brave correspondent... If you don't diffuse all the bombs... this big bomb will blow you to smithereens in two minutes! Then you won't be reporting 'live' any longer! How terrible! How disturbing! Our nine viewers are going to love watching this! Good luck darling!" he flies away…
*Ring!
"D-don't worry! I installed a bomb-defusing program on both of your phones! Use the 'defuse' option when the bomb is in the defuse zone! N-now, go get 'em!" uh… shoot, I guess go after the items. Start with the dog. It's not moving, so just point and click?
*Dog defused!
Ok, so that's how it works. Mom is currently chasing after the basket bomb, so i should go around the bottom. The game is over here past these lasers. Focus and get through them… and success! Ok, now aim at the game, and…
*Bomb defused!
Keep going. Past the lasers again. Mom got the basket bomb and the glass of water. I head after the present. Aim, and…
*Defuse failed.
"Tick…" try again. Aim and…
*Defuse failed.
"Tock…" ugh, this is irritating. Focus, aim, and…
*Bomb defused!
All thats left is the script! We both run towards it aiming our phones.
*Bomb defused!
"Well done, darlings! You've deactivated all of the bombs! If you didn't deactivate them, the big bomb would have exploded in two minutes. Now it wont explode in two minutes! Instead it will explode in two seconds! Goodbye, darling!" mom is in shock and covers me with her body to try and save me from the blast...
…
…
"ah. It seems the bomb isn't going off."
*Ring!
"That's b-because! While you were monologuing... I...! I f... fix... Um... I ch-change…"
"Oh no. you deactivated the bomb with your hacking skills."
Yeah! That's what I did!
"curses! It seem i've been foiled again! Curse you, human! Curse you, Dr. Alphys, for helping so much! But I don't curse my eight wonderful viewers for tuning in! Until next time, darling!" he rockets away.
"W-wow... W-we really showed him, huh? ... H-hey, I know I was kind of weird at first... But I really think I'm getting more... Uh, more... M-more confident about guiding you! S-so don't worry about that b-big d-dumb robot... I-I'll protect you from him! A-and if it really c-came down to it, we could just t-turn... Um, nevermind. Later!"
*Click…
"That… that was too close, my child. We must try and avoid Mettaton better. Come, my child."
End of chapter 47
